Background. Mechanical relation between the foot and pelvic alignment had been studied in healthy subjects and individuals with other musculoskeletal disorders; however, in chronic ankle instability (CAI), it has not yet been determined. Objectives. To investigate the difference in pelvic torsion (PT) among individuals with CAI and uninjured subjects and correlate PT with perceived ankle insta...

195Pt and 1H NMR has been used to show that addition of chlorine and bromine to [Pt(CN)4]2_ in presence of perchloric acid in water results in cyanide and water scrambling with formation of eleven complexes of the type [Pt(CN)4-nCl(H2O)n+1](n-1)+ (n=0, 1, 2, 3, 4). Addition of NBu4OH ...

In this work, the effects of preparation methods such as CE oven, microwave irradiation, and ultrasound on the morphology, particle size and crystallinity of MIL-53(Fe) are firstly investigated. Furthermore, the methods are utilized to prepare Pt NPs@MIL-53(Fe). As a result, well-defined Pt NPs@MIL-53(Fe) prepared by microwave irradiation exhibits uniformed morphology, hig...

This paper presents two experiments with real world applications of word sense disambiguation, wordnets and dependency parsing. The first is an effort towards a portuguese wordnet annotated corpus. We manually annotated 30 sentences using OpenWordNet-PT as a lexicon and then compared the results with an automatic annotation. In addition to the system’s evaluation, the results provided valuable ...

That phosphonium-type ionic liquids (ILs) can be used for preparation of novel solid-phase extractants has been shown. The conditions of IL immobilization on the different matrices (polyacrilonitrile, Amberlite XAD-7, hyper cross-linked polystyrene, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes) were determined. The solid-phase extraction of Pt(IV) from 1-2 M HCl and Pu(IV) from 3 M HNO(3) has been investi...

Methods: A physician-administered, chart extraction tool was developed to collect information on adult pts with primary resectable KIT+ GIST. Pt clinical characteristics, planned adjuvant tx duration, and physician charted risk assessment was collected on 506 pts. The risk of recurrence was 1) reported based on physicians’ subjective assessment and 2) calculated based on the revised NIH criteri...

We re-analyze Tavatron data on charmonium hadroproduction in the framework of the color-octet model implemented in the event generator PYTHIA taking into account initial-state radiation of gluons and AltarelliParisi evolution of final-state gluons fragmenting into cc pairs. We obtain new values for the color-octet matrix elements relevant to this production process. We discuss the sensitivity o...

We describe the verb lexicon of OpenWordNet-PT, a wordnetlike resource for (mostly Brazilian) Portuguese and a series of experiments that we designed to extend its coverage. These experiments include checking online lists of most common verbs, checking corpora freely available such as the Bosque-UD (the Bosque corpus annotated with Universal Dependencies) and especially checking a dictionary of...

The nanocomposite consists of the Ag as a core and Pt as shell on the surface of graphene nanosheets (Ag/Pt-G) was synthesized with a simple method and used as a novel electrochemical platform for an efficient catalyst for oxidation of the ethanol, methanol and formic acid. The morphology and electrochemical properties of Ag/Pt-G nanocomposite were investigated by TEM, X-ray diffraction, and vo...

We point out the simple reversibility between the fundamental neutrino mixing parameters in vacuum and their effective counterparts in matter. The former can therefore be expressed in terms of the latter, allowing more straightforward extraction of the genuine lepton mixing quantities from a variety of long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. In addition to the parametrization-independen...
